Pretty, Silky, Comfy G-String

Since I've started visiting strip clubs semifrequently, I've wondered where the ladies got those cute g-strings they wear. Well, this is one of them. Unlike most thongs I've encountered, this runs true to size, rather than slightly large, which means that this works for me to wear under jeans, but not anything more body-conscious, and definitely not on its own.

I'm a very weird size. I have a long torso, with everything else being short - "low rise" jeans and panties are often normal-rise on me. Plus-size panties are somehow way too large, and have way too much coverage, whereas smaller items may or may not fit, and may or may not have too much coverage. I have lower back issues that make it very difficult for me to wear anything that sits on my waist, so I'm always striving to find low-rise items that are actually my size. For everyday underwear, even the scandalously low-cut jeans I purchased at Vanity, this g-string is perfect and hides well under the waistband of the jeans.

This item runs a bit truer to size than I'd hoped it would. I've come across some rather oddly size panties in my time, and most of my collection is either L or XL, though I do have a pair of Medium that fits perfectly. According to Coquette's size chart, the XL, which I selected, should fit a 44-46 inch hip. I'm at about 54 inches, so, naturally, it digs in a bit, but it's not painful and I don't really feel it, probably due to the material. I would recommend this for a 40-48 inch hip, based off of how it fits me. The rise is adjustable - you can wear the side strings low across your hips, or pull the sides up to the top of your hip bone, depending on your preference.

The g-string arrived in the signature plain brown box, in a clear plastic bag with no product information on it. Attached to the g-string is a folded hang tag. The front features the product on a model, with the company logo, item style number, and company website. Unfolded, the center features two images of the black version of the product on a model. The back of the tag features style number, color, size, and a barcode that says "G-String (6pk)" above it, all on a white sticker. Below the sticker is the company name and motto, website, and washing instructions - Hand Wash Only, do not Iron, Tumble Dry, or Dry Clean. I wash my delicates in cold water, personally.

The fiber content is not mentioned anywhere, and there is only a small tag with the size on the g-string. The product page here on EF states that the item is Lycra in the product description, while the product details state polyester. I'm going to guess that it's a blend of the two. It has a nice, silky feel to it, and is very comfortable to wear. It does not have a cotton lining, so ladies who require one would prefer to opt with another product. I wore it all day, under my jeans at work, and I was extremely comfortable and barely noticed that I had it on. I personally don't have problems with infections from the occasional unlined panty, so I have no problem wearing it all day when the mood strikes me, but this may differ for others.

Each string measures 16 1/2" from the front of the panty to the back, and is 3/8" wide. The back is 3/4" at the top, and the front is 5" wide. The back and crotch are all one piece, and front to back is 12 3/4".

This piece is just hanging out in my drawer of panties that are slightly too small, waiting until they actually fit to wear them regularly.
